The ANSI/IACET Standard for Continuing Education and Training defines a proven model for developing effective and valuable continuing education and training (CE/T) programs. Because the Standard focuses on how learning programs are developed, not what they cover, it provides a framework of best practices that can be applied across disciplines and industries.

What Does the Standard Measure?

The ANSI/IACET Standard measures all aspects of a CE/T provider’s program development across ten nationally recognized categories:

Continuing Education and Training Organization

Responsibility and Control

The Learning Environment and Support Systems

Learning Event Planning

Learning Outcomes

Planning and Instructional Personnel

Content and Instructional Methods Assessment of Learning Outcomes System for Awarding CEUs and Maintaining Learner Records

Program Evaluation

The standard categories provide organizations with the framework to adhere to quality CE/T practices.
